Lincoln County School District is proud to recognize Chantelle Charpentier as the recipient of this year's Tom Moore Memorial Award, which honors individuals who exemplify the spirit of volunteerism and dedication to students.

Charpentier has made a lasting impact on Newport Middle School and schools throughout the west area through her service to the district's English Language Development program. What began as a volunteer role quickly grew into a deep commitment to supporting multilingual learners and helping students succeed both academically and personally.

"Chantelle has made a profound impact on the students, families, and staff of Newport Middle School through her extensive service and commitment to our English Language Development program," Newport Middle School Principal Marty Perez wrote in his nomination letter.

Over the years, Charpentier has donated countless hours supporting students, celebrating their growth, and providing encouragement. Her dedication eventually led her to serve as a substitute bilingual tutor, helping fill staffing needs and ensuring continuity of services for multilingual learners.

The Tom Moore Memorial Award is presented annually to a community member who demonstrates exceptional dedication to students. The award honors the legacy of Tom Moore, a longtime Lincoln County School District board member, community leader, and advocate for children and families.

Please join us in congratulating Chantelle!
